One does not actually pass from death to life with a time "in between." Time is an illusion biblically eluded to as an "in the image." The image in the mirror is not real--even if many in the image are last to know it. Thus, when one passes from death to life--that is the first resurrection...

Three and a half years, is simply a way of giving definition by times, regarding an event of God in whom there is no passing of time. In other words, God began His explanation demon-strating 7 times (the days of creation) foreshadowing all of history, and then prophetically foretold that...

Your take on things is somewhat jumbled, even suggesting things that are not so. To the contrary, because the clock of this world does not stop at salvation with those who are "alive and remain" in the world after receiving eternal life, does not mean that eternity has not begun that very day...

Well that's all very interesting and informative...but I DID NOT say "Quite the opposite" of what you said--in fact, I spoke about one aspect of the history of the former pagan holidays, and you spoke about a completely different aspect altogether.

You are missing the point, or simply trying to force the outcome you want. I answered this, saying: "Unless we are born [again] of the spirit of God, our father is the Devil. This is why Jesus came." because, yes, the flesh is condemned to die. Then comes the end, the flesh returns to the...

Unless we are born [again] of the spirit of God, our father is the Devil. This is why Jesus came. To understand, consider what is said regarding "the man of sin is revealed." Since every man is a man of sin, and every man is revealed-- is that man of sin he who is born of the spirit of God...

I knew you wouldn't understand. Because your "reality" is that of this world.

In order to fully understand the pre-, mid-, or post-tribulation timing with regard to the so-called rapture, one needs to be clear on the difference between "tribulation" and "great tribulation." "Tribulation" is something that exists during all generations: John 16:33 These things I have...

With the exception of "future" (being a time of which God is not limited to), that is correct. And yet, that is not actually the context I was referring to, but rather "now." I suppose from your "future" perspective, that means at least some of the future is now. -- But I digress, I'm just...

Paul (the scriptures) does not make the distinction in that way, but rather that "there is a law" existing in the flesh, which is the law of sin and death. Your desire to see the flesh as born free of sin is getting in the way of getting an accurate understanding of Romans. To the contrary...

I do not concur with all that you wrote...but "Like" that you stated it honestly with a willingness to see the onion peeled back over the times of otherwise good men of God who are not to be blamed for stepping up in spite of certain shortcomings. Thanks--well stated! Indeed, the onion is not...

Indeed, by design, the Creator of the universe has appointed only some to hold and give answer to the questions that all the world is not otherwise privy to. This is His chosen method of revealing of all things to all people. Why is it that you do not like the fact that some have answers and...

By the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony!

Wrong from the get go. All the world is just a created "image" made manifest for the revealing of evidences for the Judgement of this world, and as the last [expressed] will and testament of all people in a public forum, as the truth comes to light. This is the witness and testimony of every...

The events now going on in the world are the fulfilment of many passages of scripture. Here are just a few: Isaiah 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them.” Genesis 50:20 But as for you, you meant evil against me...

Joe, Our exchange started regarding all that has been fulfilled of Daniel's prophecy. But you have retreated to the scriptures (as did the Pharisees), and now testify of yourself, attempting to discredit me for not "receiving your truth from scripture" for which I have even answered with...

No, that's just their take on it. There is much more (and much less) to it. The details are immense, but so is the grace of God. And we need to remember, the Holy Spirit is rather a "gift." For those who receive the Holy Spirit, the qualifications are included. "Ask and ye shall receive."

Indeed, what you have said is true. And yes, some still live legalistically as if still under the law. Notice that the grace of God came in the same timing as the Holy Spirit.

As a generalization, this is true. There is however, a distinct difference between "willful" sin, and what would be better understood as "admitted" or confessed sin. The difference is in the heart. This is what Paul referred to saying that what he willed to do he did not do, but what he did not...

First we slow die, and if we collapse under our own weight sooner rather than later, then we also slow live. Then comes the end, no more slow, but "I am." Blessed are those who don't only slowly die, but also slowly live. These are the poor in spirit.
